Is the plastic/worm gear piece available?

My thought is the cable would break before the plastic worm gear, take a drill and put on other end of cable and back it out of the worm gear don't pry out or you will strip the gear.

Otherwise you would have to look on eBay 00 01 02 03 04 Porsche Boxster Left Convertible Top Motor Transmission 986561179 | eBay for a used transmission and take apart, but may be a gamble if the insides are good or not.

On Pelican the new transmissions are $700.00 +/- each.
